Ecological 

Contractors

Working to help protected species in a changing environment.

JHD Ecological provide a range of services to ecologists and developers in the housing, infrastructure and renewable energy sectors across the south east. We understand the need for development, as well as the need to protect our native species and habitats, and work with our clients to achieve both.

As specialist ecological contractors, we can provide you with the knowledge and services you need for a successful project. We offer a complete solution for your ecological mitigation needs. From planning and design through to construction, we always find the balance between efficiency and sensitivity. 

We work to current wildlife legislation, always completing projects with the highest standard of quality, professionalism and health and safety.

  • We can provide a variety of products to suit your mitigation needs. Whether you need temporary or permanent fencing suitable for amphibians, reptiles, voles, otters or badgers; we have solutions to meet your requirements.

  • We offer a complete site clearance package and can supply anything from a sensitive approach with a cutting and chipping team, to larger scale clearance using tree shears, whole tree chippers and forestry mulchers.

  • We plant thousands of trees each winter as new hedgerows or woodlands within habitat enhancement schemes

  • Badger Licensing. When a site has badger constraints, we work with our clients to protect or relocate badgers under an EPS licence

  • "Josh and Hamish offer a fantastic service. They are quick to respond to enquiries and make us feel like a priority. They are always polite and conduct themselves in a professional manner whilst working on our sites, and we know that we can rely upon them to deliver a quality job."

    -Tim Buckland

  • run a small ecological consultancy and we've used JHD as a contractor on a number of our projects. They have always quoted competitively, delivered the job to time and budget, and are lovely chaps to deal with. On a number of occasions our clients have gone out of their way to compliment their work. They're also great at finding practical solutions to difficult issues on site.

  • As the director of a small ecology consultancy, we have used JHD Ecological on a number of our projects. We have always been very pleased with the service they provide, providing competitive quotes and producing a high standard of work (which some of our clients have also commented on). Josh and Hamish are also nice guys and are easy to work with. Highly recommended!
